Thank you to all those who participated in the recent community dialogue “Tired Feet, Rested Souls: Celebrating Civil Rights Around the World“on July 6 at Encuentro 5.It was an incredible afternoon of freedom songs, storytelling, connecting the dots between historical precedents, and building strategies for how we unite against racial profiling and hateful anti-immigrant legislation. Here are images from a break out activity where we mapped our migration stories to the U.S. civil rights movement timeline, connecting the historical and current issues we face as immigrants of color and African Americans.For more information about NIAAS and getting involved, email niaasboston@gmail.com.
